Hyrule Adventures 2

Sovelis looked at the Twili princess and picked her up. "Enough. She is...going to die anyways. Right Ralin?" Sovelis said, looking at the blinded impish Twili. "We will take her back to the palace. Then we will go home. I doubt that we will need Ralin to open a rift anyways, not since that mask-thing sank into me. Thats why I'm...Not dieing on the ground."

Sovelis looked at Arrika and smiled. "Its good to have you back in the right body. I didn't think that the royal treatment was the lifestyle you'd want anyways." he joked as he walked out of the Arena with the Twili royalty in his arm. He didn't look at her, but he did talk to her. "I want to know why you stole Arrika's body." He ordered. "And I'll warn you...try anything funny, and I will snap your neck like I did to one of your people earlier."

"Go ahead," Morendo replied wearily. "I'd rather you'd kill me now. I'm going to die in a decade or two anyway... turns out I wasn't full blood immortal like the other Twili. Life sucks, okay?" She said bluntly. "What's there to do around here? Nothing fun's going to happen for a century, as the Seer said when she first came here. Everyone has fun taking advantage over someone. Killing someone slowly and watching them scream and take their final breath is a sport. Why not take the form of one blessed by the Goddess and spend the rest of my short life in the Realm of the Dawn? Ralin and the Seer's the only ones here with a spark of life. And I'm not allowed to visit the Seer anymore..."

"Yea, she's as good as dead. I'd snap her neck now if I were you," Ralin said with a smile.

"Who's side are you on anyway?" Seth asked, leading Ralin as she clung to his scarf and gritting his teeth every time the Twili mentioned his sister.

"No one's. Why not? No one's life is more important to me than my own."

"That's true," Mirielle muttered. "So having half an immortal life wasn't enough for you? Talk about spoiled. I'll only get maybe another century or two if I get it right."

"Immortality is over-rated. I'd rather my life be short, and not an eternal curse." Sovelis said, and he stopped walking. "If your so egger to die, then just jump off of a ledge or something and leave my mind at ease. I may have killed, but I will always be haunted by the deaths that have been caused by my hands." Sovelis said as he lay the beaten Twili on the ground. "What if I offer you a chance to leave your world? To come to Hyrule?"

Morendo was speechless. "Are you serious?" A grin spread across her face. "Really? You're not lying?"

"Two Twili does seem better than one... although Ralin does seem to have more abilitiy," Mirielle said, happy at the prospect of having an extra test subject.

Arrika was almost completely against the idea once it left Sovelis's mouth. "Are you crazy? Haven't you seen how double crossing these Twili are? She'll kill us in our sleep! Right, Seth?"

"Erm... I don't really wanna See right now so..."

"I think it's a great idea! Have you no heart, Arrika?" Mirielle said, her intentions obvious. "So, Sovelis, let's speed on home now..."

If Sovelis was capable of opening the portal on his own then Ralin realized she was useless, no reason that any of them should let her live. And she sure as hell didn't like the sound of that grey haired woman's voice.

"They will not be test subjects for you Mirielle. You may be able to push and boss Rhyss around into doing what you want, but I am much different. I will not tolerate your arrogance, your pushiness, or your want for everything to be YOUR way." Sovelis said, rising to his feet and looking the witch right in the eyes. "I am not some weak fool like he is, and if you ever cross me or upset me, So help me, I will bring my wrath down on you woman." He said, standing with his nose touching hers. "They will be MY guests until I can find a way for them to survive in the outside world of Hyrule. Only in MY home can they survive, and I will not let you touch a hair on their heads."

Sovelis looked at Arrika. "I won't let them get the chance. They might be able to kill one of us, but unless they can keep me dead, the won't try anything." Sovelis said, looking away from Mirielle. "Rhyss, your necklace is in an alleyway next to the Arena. If your feeling brave, go get it while I try to figure out how to open a rift directly into my house."

Yes, because I'm sure you can do it all on your own.

Arrika's mouth twitched and Mirielle merely smiled, but inside she seethed with annoyance. At least it guaranteed that she wouldn't try to pester Sovelis to do anything for her.

Rhyss studied Arrika and Seth for a few moments, then grabbed Seth and made him accompany him to find his amulet, thinking Seth and his new hellcat would be of much more help than just Arrika.

"Aw Rhyss I don't wanna-"

Once the two had left the Arena though, they burst out laughing. "Hahah, the look on her face-" Seth said, feeling like his ribs would burst. The cat meowed happily, as if reflecting Seth's laughter.

"I bet she can hear us, but I can't help it-" Rhyss said, gasping for breath. "I wish Sovelis would stick around every day! But I'm dead later-"

"Hey, why do you let her boss you around in the first place, Rhyss?" Seth said more seriously.

Rhyss ruffled his hair, saying, "It's complicated. I'm sure you'll understand if you just think about it."

The pair came back a few minutes later, Rhyss whistling a merry tune with the Twili in his pocket again.

OoC: Do I even want to think about their relationship?

IC:

It would be good if you would help me, please. I'm getting kinda dizzy watching all these black squares floating around... Sovelis said inwardly, knowing that the mask spirit would hear. "So... Morendo is it?" Sovelis said, looking at the Twilight Princess. "Tell me about this Seer you keep mentioning. Who is it that can see the future in such a chaotic world?" he asked, looking into the Twili's eyes with concern. "The'd have to be very powerful to be able to See anything here."

OoC: Jeez I didn't mean it that way!! First you think Seth is gay, then... Gosh I have to review every sentence I write huh?

IC: Seth bit his lip and looked away, not liking where the conversation was going.

Take out your sword and slash the air. Just think about ripping open a rift out of nothing... I'm not sure how to explain it. Twili magic works differently. And I got sick of watching that stuff years ago...

"Her name is Sela... she hasn't said a drop about herself to anyone," Morendo said. "Except me," she added proudly. "She used to tell me about how messed up her old family had become, but when she did I just laughed. Who needs family anyway? All you should ever have to look after is yourself."

Seth gritted his teeth, his nails biting into his palm and resisting the urge to hit the Twili.

"My mother sent one of her most trusted guards to bring her here from Hyrule. Sela tells her plenty, of course, but not all of it. You can tell she's holding back probably the most crucial visions of them all. I think the reason she Sees so much is that she's not afraid to. Many psychics, or so she says, never reach the full extent of their powers because they're still afraid of the future and their own end. She's amazing, though! She isn't afraid of death at all, even when my mother threatened to kill her when she wouldn't let on the rest of the future of my mother's reign. And I'd heard all Hylians were complete cowards." You can tell that this Twili dislikes anyone from Hyrule with a passion, but Sela has somehow managed to earn even her respect.

"Not everyone from Hyrule is that way, Princess. I have seen strength in their kind that many other's lack. Sheikah, Goron, Zora, Deku, Hylian, Human, Fairy...they all share the same world, and yet they live in harmony. They all have found a way to co-exist with the other peoples of their world, and that is what makes them strong. " Sovelis said, remembering that the only blade he had was his armblade. He...one problem. My sword is back in Hyrule. The one I had when I transformed was a part of my body, not an actual weapon. And I need to go see this Seer before I go home...

"Morendo, can you take me to see her? I promise to take you and Ralin with me to Hyrule If you do." the Tempest said, rising to his feet.

"Say- yes!" Ralin said, shaking Morendo wildly. "Take him now!!!"

Morendo brushed her off. "Why? I want a reason."

"Do you have to, Sovelis?" Seth said.

"You don't have to go with him, Seth," Arrika said.

"Yeah, but-"

"I want to meet her too, actually. She sounds interesting enough," Rhyss said.

"No! You can't leave me here with Miri-" Seth protested.

"So pick then. Go with Rhyss, or stay with me," Mirielle said, smiling her evil little smile as she noticed how opposed to meeting the Seer Seth was.

"If your sister is powerful enough to See here...maybe she can see into my Future as well." Sovelis said, looking at Seth. "And as the self-appointed leader of this little army, I say that we ALL are going. I'm not going to let any of you run off and cause any more trouble." he said, looking at Mirielle. I know she's planning on grabbing a Twili for herself. Its burning her mind so much. Sovelis whispered mentally to the boy.

"I'm a man of my word Morendo. Take us to the Seer, and Ralin and yoursel are welcome in my home."

Morendo looked at Sovelis skeptically before saying, "Okay. Fine." She walked gracefully towards Sela's tower, Ralin clinging to her arm and tripping every now and then.

"I doubt she would See something different... but I don't blame you for trying," Seth replied, still unwilling to go but reasoning that Mirielle wouldn't try anything with the Tempest around. Rhyss grinned and clapped him on the back. "You can stay right outside the door if you want, kid," He said, trying to comfort him but following the two Twili happily.

As he stood before the small tower, Sovelis looked around. "I want everyone else to stay out here. If I don't come out in five minutes, then come in after me. Morendo, Ralin. Come with me please." he said, motioning for the two Twili to go inside before him as he opened the door. "And Mirielle...don't try anything. If you so much as THINK about doing anything, I'll make sure that you stay here in the Twilight Realm. I bet that the current ruler of this world wouldn't mind having a new PET..." the Tempest threatened, looking at Mirielle with a look of...Cheerfulness?

"Maybe they'd forget to feed her too," Seth muttered happily to Arrika, sitting next to her on the plain doorstep of the tower. There are oddly shaped windchimes by the door too, which seem pointless as there is no such thing as wind in the Twilight Realm.

Inside the tower is just as dim as when Seth had gone earlier. Sela is still sitting by the window, gazing at nothing and seemed to have not moved at all since her last visitor.

"Sovelis Magalion Le'ano Liadon... What brings you here, Tempest?" Sela said calmly, although she already knew the answer. "I thought my brother was quite accurate."

"I see that I need not waste time with introducing myself. But normally it is polite to give one's name to someone?" Sovelis said, walking towards the extremely pale Hylian. "If your able to See, even though you are here in the Twilight, then you must know what I have done. I want to know, is the Future that Seth saw true? Can I change it? Am...am I ever to be happy?" Sovelis asked, looking at Sela. "Can you see beyond the distortions that surround me?"

He had forgotten about the Twili, since he was too caught up in peppering Sela with questions.
